On the next episode of Good Morning Britain, viewers were quick to notice Kate Garraway's painful-looking eye infection. The 57-year-old presenter didn't try to hide it and even offered an explanation to her viewers. She clarified that her eyes were not red and sore because she was emotional, but rather due to the infection.
Amidst the excitement of England's semi-finals Euro victory, which secured them a spot in the finals, Kate took a moment to share an update on her health. She jokingly said, "We know not everybody is a footy fan... by the way, if I'm looking a bit emotional this morning, it's partly the football, it's also that I've got a rabid eye infection." She then continued, "So I'm wearing my rose-tinted spectacles, so I can see everybody!"
Co-host Adil Ray couldn't help but joke, "I thought you were getting emotional about the game." To which Kate replied with a laugh, "There's an element of that too! When I look through these spectacles, I see a win! They're rose-tinted, and I'm manifesting it!"
Despite the eye infection, Kate didn't let it dampen her spirits and encouraged everyone to embrace something joyous. However, some viewers who missed her explanation were concerned and took to social media to ask if she was okay.
This incident comes just days after Kate opened up about struggling to hold it together following the death of her husband, Derek Draper. Derek had passed away in January at the age of 56 after a three-year battle with complications related to Covid-19.
During an event, Kate spoke about her grief and how she was slowly coming out of it. She said, "I'm just at that early stage at the moment of coming out of grief. I'm just barely holding it together." Despite her grief, she was trying her best to focus on their two children, Darcey and Billy.
She also mentioned that she was trying to celebrate life and was looking forward to turning 60 in a few years. "I'm very much celebrating life now, whatever the age. I don't know whether I'll do a party yet. Derek passed away so recently, so it's just one step at a time."
